Re-Opening the Arts

As in-person arts activity resumes but the threats and challenges of COVID-19 still loom large, how are arts organizations navigating the considerations around welcoming audiences back into their performance spaces?

This monthly webinar series will provide a community forum throughout the fall. We will hear from guest arts leaders who are tackling these challenges, then open the floor to create space for questions, conversations and success sharing.

What programming considerations are being made? What’s being communicated to audiences? What’s being done in venues to ensure safety? How do masks and vaccines impact plans and policies? How can we learn from each other as we navigate this shifting new reality?

The first free webinar will be held on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, at 2:30 MT.
